1. There's just something about this time of the year that makes you think, Now would be a good time to hop in the car and go home.
2. And home is a special place.
3. Sure, it seems like it's gotten a lot bigger than it was when you lived here.
4. But there's something about this place that seems timeless.
5. Here, every drink reminds you of another story.
6. Every fountain inspires a, "Hey, do you remember the time…?"
7. Here, even the trees here are legend.
8. This is a place where you'll have to make hard choices.
9. And then some really hard choices.
